Bobert mentioned this song back on 19-Jan-2005: THE ONLY TIME I'M SOBER IS WHEN YOU'RE GONE As recorded by Heartsfield on "Heartsfield" (1973) 1. When I first met you, I didn't understand What a naggin' bitchin' woman can do to a man. Well, it seems that the girl I married ain't quite the same. Well, I thought I knew you better when I gave you my name. CHORUS: Now the only time I'm sober's when you're gone, And the bottle is the only thing that keeps me hangin' on. The man on the radio keeps singin' sad, sad songs Like "The Only Time I'm Sober's When You're Gone." 2. Well, I have no need to travel anywheres too far, And they know me by my first name at all the local bars. Well, I've heard that a failin' love can drive a man to drink. Well, I would have left you if I hadn't been too high to think CHORUS: That the only time.... 3. Guess I'd better go now; it's gettin' pretty late, But I'll be back tomorrow night, so please save my place, And I'll tell you all about the tales of pain and misery And the heartaches that [are?] caused by bein' too damn blind to see CHORUS: That the only time....
